Brockovich

pacing. "Irresistable, hugely satisfying...Erin Brockovich does more
than chronicle the rebirth of a downtrodden individual. It serves as a career milestone
for director Steven Soderbergh, writer Susannah Grant and, most of all, star Julia
Roberts. ..It reminds us of how much intelligent entertainment value there can be
in traditional material, if only someone has the wit to realize it and the skil to
get it out. " Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times. $28.95.
